Jungle Shack Garden

Storyline: After moving to the South Amazon, Brazil, Ithaka experienced new sensorial challenges within the natural habitat he now shared with the local tribe. Stories of UFO’s and surrounding “alien like” wild life brought him new inspiration to his art work. In his words: “The rural area of Brazil where I spend most of the year is saturated with tales of UFO visitations. Most can be quickly debunked as airplanes etc. But there are times when we can’t discard them entirely. Once several members of the indigenous Guarani village a few kilometers away from my home sat they saw a glowing luminescent being with two tenacle-like arms floating through the forest. As they do not allow tourist to their Reservation anyway, I cannot possibly imagine what they would have to gain by fabricating a story like this.”

Here, Ithaka developed new drawings and paintings, a series of unique photography captures, now adapted to clothing.
